title: Ionic liquid catalysed reaction of thiols with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds--remarkable influence of the C-2 hydrogen and the anion.
abstract: Hydrogen bond induced reactivity and selectivity control in the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium based ionic liquid catalysed reaction of thiols with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is reported with remarkable influence of the anion and the C-2 hydrogen in catalytic activity and reversal of selectivity.
